Psalm 89:30-37

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁰ If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my ordinances,
³¹ if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
³² then I will punish their transgression with the rod
    and their iniquity with scourges;
³³ but I will not remove from him my steadfast love,
    or be false to my faithfulness.
³⁴ I will not violate my covenant,
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
³⁵ Once and for all I have sworn by my holiness;
    I will not lie to David.
³⁶ His line shall continue forever,
    and his throne endure before me like the sun.
³⁷ It shall be established forever like the moon,
    an enduring witness in the skies.”Selah
